    Bush campaign TV ad uses the Olympics to promote W. http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer04/gen/news/story?id=1864173[^] An act of Congress, last revised in 1999, grants the USOC exclusive rights to such terms as "Olympic," derivatives such as "Olympiad" and the five interlocking rings. It also specifically says the organization "shall be nonpolitical and may not promote the candidacy of an individual seeking public office." The response from the Bush campaign officials: Bush campaign aides contend that the law in question gives the committee exclusive rights only to use the Olympics name to sell goods or services or to promote athletic competition. The campaign avoided using the symbol of five rings in the ad, the aides said. Stanzel said the ad will continue to run for the last two weeks of August. Just full of integrity those guys are. X|

        "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "who is to be master -- that's all."

        after all, here is Bush describing what "tribal sovereignty" (for Native-Americans) means:

        “Tribal sovereignty means that—it’s sovereignty,” he stammered. “I mean, you’re a—you’re a—you’ve been given sovereignty and you’re viewed as a sovereign entity.”

        so there. when he uses a word, he chooses what it means. if you have a different definition it's probably because you hate America. Software | Cleek
